Virgin Media reports that the 32-year-old said she was "happy" to move to Hollywood to help him pursue an acting career as she was confident in his eventual success.

She said: ''I knew he was going to do well even then. He believed that he could be the next action hero and I knew he'd make it. Because that was our dream. That's what we focused on for seven years.''

Brook recently expressed the desire to work on a film with Quentin Tarantino, but dismissed the idea that she would be frustrated at being hired on the basis of her looks alone, arguing: "I'm not going to be in a Mike Leigh film, looking like death with a needle hanging out of my arm. And if I've been blessed with a commodity that can open up my world, why not use it? Embrace it.

''I can't run fast like Usain Bolt. I can't sing like Mariah Carey. So if people are interested in my body then OK, that's that. I'm not going to fight against it.''
